It was bound to happen eventually.
With rumors of great beasts roaming the shores of Yael, many mainlanders flocked across the sea to capture the exotic beasts. In no time at all, they returned with large scaled monsters, dangerously translucent serpents, and turtles that carried the earth. These traders traveled across the Mainland to parade the beasts, going from Matori to Zena and everywhere between. Soon enough, everyone had either seen the Yaeli beasts or at least heard of them.
And they were sure to hear about the beasts when they escaped.
With such little knowledge of the foreign creatures, the traders underestimated the animals. In no time at all, the Yaeli beasts escaped into the wilderness and ended up near your location. With new creatures all but knocking on your door, what do you do? Do you dare to try and tame them, or do you run them off back into the wilderness? You better hurry, because these creatures are lost and scared, and are sure to cause some damage before they are captured once more....

rolling for Ouen -- need 40-100
result: fail!
They had returned from their raid on the bandits that had burned down his mother’s home, simultaneously elated and worried about the consequences. Talin was out, word was, on a rather bloody mission… and chaos was sure to ensure upon his return.
But for the time-being it was quiet, and Ouen wandered through the jungle to think.
Shenandoah padded along beside him -- now too tall for the shifter to rest his hand on his back like he once used to. But the radaku was quiet and curious as ever, moving soundlessly over the undergrowth and letting out a questioning whirr only when he found something he wanted Ouen to look at. So, rest assured, Ouen was quite surprised to hear the animal let out a startled bark and dart around a tree. Why, Shen hadn’t done anything like that since he was a pup, back when he had darted around Ouen’s legs everytime there was something new and scary in sight. These days, Shen was more than likely to bound ahead and investigate everything long before Ouen even got to it. So what in the world was it that had gotten the radaku all riled up like th --
“Aw, heck! What is that?”
The very thing that had sent Shenadoah scrambling, however, quickly had Ouen taking a step back himself. A long, stringy sort of animal was sitting on the roots of a tree, shaking its tail-end at them. At least, Ouen thought that was its tail. It was all tail as far as he could see, and like no creature he’d ever seen before. And that was saying something! Ouen had grown up here, amongst every sort of thing that crawled and climbed and darted around the crystal growths. So where had this thing come from? And… well, was it dangerous?
It certainly looked angry.
Ouen flipped his spear around so that he was holding the blunt stick-end towards the creature, and stretched out to poke at it (this being, of course, the scientifically best method to figure out what something was). The creature stood up higher on its tail and shook about even more, emitting a surprisingly loud rattle. It did not, however, strike. Shenandoah stuck his head out from behind the tree and watched cautiously, obviously curious but still concerned by this presence of this new thing he had no knowledge of.
“Hey there, uh… thing.” Ouen muttered, taking a careful step towards it. It was a mighty pretty looking creature, really, what with all those crystals up and down its side, and he wouldn’t mind taking it back to camp if he could. Maybe he could take it back to a town, too, and find out if anyone knew that the heck it was. And where had it come from, at that?
He untied the sash around his waist, and, waiting for a good shot, threw the thing on top of the creature. His plan had been to gather it up in a bundle before it could react, but… the thing was fast! In a heartbeat it decided to stop trying to scare them, and darted quickly out from under the sash. It moved, in an odd, winding way (and surprisingly quickly given that it had no legs to speak of) over the top of the tree-roots and into a narrow cranny.
“Well.” Ouen shrugged, picking his sash back up. “That was mighty a mighty odd dang thing.”
